FORT WORTH having so many artesian
wells of the cool variety has determined
to bore for hot water. If Dallas and this
temperature and the prohibition amend
ment sultriness cannot keep the Fort in
hot water it must certainly be at home
in sheOl.
EDWARD Powell, nominated by the
Democracy of Ohio for governor, is a
young man fOrty-three years old, whose
political history is condensed In the
statement that he has been uniformly
defeated for office wherever he has run.
CITY COUNCIL meets today, and that
street car ordinance will be presented

A MORMON war ia imminent In the

many converts. The supporters of the

The Bexar County Farmers alliance

moose prepared for them by some willy
newspaper men. They are after a cot
ton yard of their own, and will get it,

The New Era represents Devine sta
tiOn as largely for prohibition, in its
reference to the debate that did not
come of there between Judge" BROKER
and Mac Anderson. Hon. Oscar Berg
strom and w. 5. Messmer, Of this city,
were in Devine on Saturday, attending
An anti-prOhibitiOn rally and barbecue.
They represent Devine station sure to
give a majority for anti-prohibitiOn, and
those who were present for miles around
were very sanguine that prohibition had
not ghost OF a smell in all that COM
munity. If the estimates of the prohi-
bitionists are no more correct in other
localities than in this, their statistics
are not worth the paper they are writ
ten on as an index of the vote next
| week.
DOES the Fort Worth Gazette refer to
| the breaking up of the meeting ad-
dressed by Miss BOswOrth, at Wharton,
when it says: dallas missed the OppOr-
tunity Of a life time in not stoning the
| female temperance lecturer while she
was speaking at the wigwam. San An
tonic distanced her by making her hood
lums drunk and raising a riot at pro-
hibition meeting" II the Gazette does
not mean this what does il mean? If the
Gazette insinuates that San Antonio had
any bsRd, as a city, in disturbing public
meetings addressed by prOhibitoDists,
the insinuatiOn is as false as is the posi-
tion OF the man who rides the fence in
the face OF one Of the gravest issues that
ever challenged the action Of the state.
IL the insinuatiOn is that n woman was
interrupted in her public address to the
prOhibitionists OF this city, 1t lie as mean
as could possibly emanate from a jour
nal too cowardly to fight the anti-prOhi-
bitiOnists in front and so tackles them 10
the rear, by base Islander.
